This contest is open to amateurs and all contestants are welcome. There is a junior category for under-16s and an adult category for everyone 16 and up. The top three winners in both categories will receive a prize and the snapshots will be judged by three local artists

For every $10 entry fee, up to three photos may be entered. Entries will be accepted until March 21. Photos will be on display at the Macon County Public Library until April 8.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
